Found the line art for that GEIGER cover…

Comps! Had a lot of fun doing this variant cover for GEIGER #23, in no small part because it was such a treat to have the amazing Brad Anderson handling the colors! Big thanks to @1moregaryfrank.bsky.social and the rest of the @ghostmachinepro.bsky.social crew for letting me play with their toys!

Five years ago today we lost our great friend and long-time colleague Jesse Hamm. We’ll post some quotes from Jesse and links to his art and writing in this thread.

I’ve opened my pre-convention commissions list for Comic Con Oakland. @comicconoakland.com DM for details, or write me at slieber(at)gee-mayle-dot-com

Matt’s a good dude and excellent collaborator! (Don’t tell him I said all that 😉)

A little work in progress…

Some more work in progress…

As a depressed younger artist, my storytelling sometimes suffered. I just couldn't conjure up feelings & images the story needed. Over time I found some strategies for staying professional even when I wasn't feeling it. Thread:

For years I've been using variations of this to help me understand how each page fits into the overall book and what the impact of each page. I typically use a highlighter and draw a box around each scene. Then, I add notes to each scene about the mood, and general direction of the scene...

A little work in progress…

Sadly, my SKIM collaborator has had to step away due to work/life commitments. So, I’m now looking for an artist interested in collaborating with me on the rest of the series. If you know any artists who might be a good fit (or if that artist is you), feel free to DM portfolios. PAID WORK

IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT #1 was SO GOOD! I’m gonna assume the rest of Matthew’s list will be spot on… :)

I’ve done a bit of work with Eric (that will hopefully see the light of day at some point) and I gotta say … he’s one of the good ones. You’re doing yourself a favor by bringing him in…

I see no lies here

It’s National Cartoonist Day. So here again, for those who might need a reminder, is the best cartoon ever made. By B. Kliban.

Something Drew and I are gonna have to get back to down the road…

Gotta say … I’m into this. A lot of this work is new to me … but not Iron Man #232. A favorite then, and a favorite now…

Okay, this sucks, award-winning letterer @simonbowland.bsky.social, one of the best in the business and the first name I suggest when editors ask, is dry of work at the moment. Simon is EXCELLENT, always tasteful with great impact. If you need a letterer, this is one of the best. Recommended!

Just a reminder that Blambot's Indie License allows small press comic creators to use Blambot's indie fonts (those marked with a $0 option) for free even if you make money with your comic or merch directly related to your comic. More info: blambot.com/pages/licenses

Here is the audition drawing of Michael Keaton as Batman, drawn in early February of 1989, to secure a blanket “likeness approval” so each page did not have to be submitted to the actor’s reps for a go-ahead.

R.I.P. to Len Strazewski, who wrote my favorite series featuring the Justice Society of America.

Aw … so sorry to hear this. As a kid, my doorway into comics was via Marvel Tales, which was (at that time) reprinting Gerry’s run on Amazing Spider-man with Romita, Kane and Andru. I love those comics, and I’ve always been a big Gerry Conway fan. 😢

I didn’t realize my GEIGER cover was out next month! @1moregaryfrank.bsky.social is a pal, and he designed an amazing looking character who’s a blast to draw. Seeing what Brad did with the color was the icing on the cake! imagecomics.com/comics/relea...

Can’t post new stuff… Here’s some ‘not new’ stuff… 🙂

Hey folks, after nearly 4 years at Mad Cave, I was let go this morning. It was a wonderful time getting to work with an amazing list of creators. If we have worked together, please stay in touch. I am available for freelance editing and would love to work with you all in the future.

When you take over a title that hasn't been published in 50 years, a funny thing to do is answer mail from the previous issue in your letters column. Or I thought it was funny. And for some reason Marvel let me do this joke. The letters column from TALES OF SUSPENSE #100. A thread.

We're less than $500 away from our goal! Help us unlock some amazing covers by folks like @michelfiffe.bsky.social @almosthomefree.bsky.social @comixbychloe.bsky.social and more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/new...

Can’t post art from what I’m working on right now, so here’s something I had fun with last year…

Adam Hughes is one of my all time favorite comic artists. he does the best Indiana jones.
